Florida came from behind with three runs in the ninth Friday, as So. C Mike Zunino tied the game with a solo homer, and So. SS Nolan Fontana delivered a go-ahead two-run single.

RHP Hudson Randall (6.2 IP, 8 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K) and two relievers shut out LSU for the first time at the new Alex Box Stadium. Florida erased an early 3-0 deficit Sunday, as Zunino's two-run single sparked a five-run fourth inning, and So. 1B/RHP Austin Maddox (4.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R) earned his first career win with stellar relief of Fr. RHP Karsten Whitson (4.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER).RESULTS

Texas opened Big 12 play with a tightly contested series sweep of Kansas State, with the last two games going extra innings. The Longhorns' two-run first inning Friday was more than enough support for Jr. RHP Taylor Jungmann (8 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K), who improved to 5-0, 0.63. So. LHP Hoby Milner (7 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K) was strong in a no-decision Saturday, and Texas won it on Jr. C Kevin Lusson's bases-loaded walk in the 10th.

RHPs Kurt McCune (7 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K) and Kevin Gausman (8 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 4 K) turned in strong performances as usual on Friday and Saturday.
